SPONSORSHIP PROPOSAL IFFO 57th ANNUAL CONFERENCE

23-25 OCTOBER 2017, WASHINGTON DC

IFFO would like to invite you to

sponsor our 57th Annual Conference

About the Conference

Held every year at a different city, and running for over 50 years, the IFFO

Annual Conference is the world’s only conference dedicated to the fishmeal and

fish oil industry, which includes the processing of other marine ingredients, and

its value chain partners.

We are looking forward to a very successful meeting – one which reflects the

organiser’s strategy of applying science, technology and business analysis to the commercial concerns of the marine

protein and oil sector and the related supply chains; these range from farmed seafood, to land animal and pet food

nutrition as well as the human health omega-3 market.

Who will attend

We anticipate more than 500 participants from around 45 countries will attend the Washington DC conference.

Attendance to our conferences has remained consistently high, as shown below.

About us

IFFO is the international ‘not for profit’ organisation that represents and

promotes the fishmeal, fish oil and wider marine ingredients industry world-

wide.

We are globally respected and regularly represent the industry at interna-

tional forums, as well as holding observer status at the UN Food and

Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the EU Commission and Parliament.

Acting on behalf of the fishmeal and fish oil producers and their trade associates, IFFO works to strengthen the

global standing of the industry, while ensuring sustainable future supplies worldwide. With a network of members

reaching across 55 countries, our members account for over 50% of world production and 75% of the fishmeal and

fish oil traded worldwide. While these products are the core of our industry, recent years have seen a widening to

include marine algae cultivation and the production of meal and oil from krill. Our members include producers,

traders, feed companies, edible oil refiners, retailers, financial institutions, governmental and non-governmental

organisations.

What we do

● Provide information on production of marine ingredients

● Analyse and report on changes in market conditions

● Provide information on environmental issues and defend the image of the industry

● Provide an information network for Members, including advice from the Secretariat

● Hold conferences and members’ meetings as a forum for information, education, networking, and discussion

about matters of importance to the industry

● Provide information on current and proposed regulations affecting fishmeal and fish oil in different markets

● Promote the benefits of marine ingredients by speaking at international events, publishing articles in internation-

al trade press and liaising with users, as well as via an interactive web portal

● Undertake research and development on marine ingredients to make best use of fish nutrients for the health

and welfare of animals and humans

● Advocate for trade liberalisation to increase the available markets for marine ingredients and seek to remove

unfair tariff or non-tariff barriers

● Support the Global Standard for Responsible Supply of fishmeal and fish oil (IFFO RS), which offers producers the

opportunity to demonstrate responsible sourcing and responsible production and to gain independently-audited

certification that they have achieved this

Omega Protein belongs to IFFO because we respect its science-based approach to

promoting responsible fishing around the world, and because we support its efforts to disseminate critical information regarding the biochemical benefits (to humans and animals) of fish consumption. Many of our opponents are well-intentioned but sadly misinformed regarding the facts and realities surrounding fisheries science; IFFO offers these and other user groups a credible, reliable source of information. Joseph von Rosenberg III President and CEO Omega Protein Corporation, USA IFFO has been very useful to DSM as through their web page and first class events they maintain and expand an excellent network in the community of fish oil producers allowing us to establish and improve our contacts with suppliers.
